This is the instruction book for the early version of the Cine-Kodak Model B with the fix focused f6.5 lens.

If you plan to shoot with one of the various versions of the Model B remember that they take double perforated 16mm and that the ISO of film back in 1927 was between 4 and 8. Modern film is 100 and up, or at least as of the year of this upload 2016.

You will need a Neutral Density filter in front of the lens and a light meter with its own ND filter in order to shoot outdoors with these cameras.

Each page of this manual was scanned at 600 dpi, pages skew corrected, contrast and brightness adjusted, and each photo was descreened. In all it took about 2 hours to make this look easy on the eyes. Please do not remove the book plate.
